Pre-selected applicants in the 2017 batch of N-Power have been asked to wait for the next step of action in the application process, the scheme said on Friday on its social media profile.

“Good afternoon, The next stages for the 2017 pre-selected applicants will be shared. Until the time that it is shared, pre-selected applicants are expected to wait.”

The statement is not unconnected to the mild inertia, after the physical verification which finalised before mid December, which has put applicants on top of their toes for next phase of their application.

The verification had involved not only the 2017 batch, but N-Build category of 2016 batch, which were selected last December but had delayed in being absorbed into the programme.
